People who drink coffee regularly say that they are addicted to caffeine because they feel that they can’t live without it. Addiction is defined as a state in which a person strongly depends on a drug with severe withdrawal symptoms. He should have an urge to consume it more and more and is tolerant to a particular dose. Based on this definition, caffeine consumption does not qualify as an addiction. Researches too have shown that caffeine does not cause any kind of addiction. Alcohol or other drug addiction can have severe social and physical consequences but this is not the case with caffeine which further strengthens the belief that it is not addictive or does not cause addiction.
